O'Farrell helps launch Membership drive

[Discussion_Bot]

NSW Liberal Leader Barry O’Farrell has today encouraged Wests Tigers supporters to get behind the team in the Club’s ‘Battle of the West’ Membership campaign.A parochial Wests Tigers supporter, O’Farrell was presented with his 2011 Membership at Leichhardt Oval as the NRL launched ‘The Battle of the West’ campaign that will run for a week from Saturday, February 26\. O’Farrell was joined by professional Australian middleweight boxer and Wests Tigers supporter Daniel Geale.

The ‘Battle of the West’ is the third in a series of Club membership competitions and sees Wests Tigers, Parramatta Eels and Penrith Panthers in a battle to sign the most Members in the week. The winning Club will receive $10,000 from the NRL.

Wests Tigers Captain Robbie Farah presented the Opposition Leader with a “O’Farrell 1” jersey before handing over a ‘Geale 11’ jersey to the boxer.

"Supporting the Wests Tigers is great but becoming a Member is even better because then you're part of the Club which makes sharing in the team's success even more special,’’ O’Farrell said.

Farah rallied supporters who are not Wests Tigers Members to cross ‘The Line That Divides’ in 2011.

“Members are more than just fans at Wests Tigers. By becoming a Member, they demonstrate a real commitment to our Club to support us through thick and thin,’’ Farah said.

“Loyalty like that is very inspiring for the players and we need as many fans to take the next step and become Members. During this Battle of the West race, I hope Wests Tigers fans who have not yet become Members will be encouraged to join us so we can be the most popular Club out of our Western Sydney counterparts.”

Geale challenged Wests Tigers supporters to get in the same corner as him and knock out the opposition. A former IBO Middleweight World Champion, Geale is ranked number 1 in the IBF and will fight for the belt in his next bout.

“As a resident of the Macarthur region, I am proud to be a Wests Tigers Member. Wests Tigers will have a very strong season and I know they can win the premiership. It would be a great start to the season by winning ‘The Battle of The West’,’’ Geale said.

Wests Tigers has already passed their Membership total for 2010 with kick-off to the 2011 season still three weeks away. Wests Tigers Membership figure stands at 6616 members

As part of the Club’s drive to win the Battle of the West, Wests Tigers have installed ‘Become a Member’ billboards on Parramatta Road and the M4 Motorway featuring a photo of Benji Marshall, Robbie Farah and Lote Tuqiri.

Wests Tigers Cheerleaders will be handing out Membership brochures at Leumeah, Strathfield, Central and Gosford railway stations from March 1.

The final nail in Labors coffin. Bazza O'Farrell is a Tigers man! What a champion.

Just a shout out too, my friend Patrice is the Liberal candidate in Heffron (against Keneally). She's a great girl! Extremely intelligent and a great person who will always do the best for her area (rare to find in politics). So give her a look in if you happen to live around there.

I bet he's got his members kit already…..theres the line that divides, then it seems theres another ;line.
Wests Tigers memberships are the most pathetic & utterlty useless cretins on the face of the earth....tried again today only to be put on hold for almost 10 minutes....I dont have this time to waste.
This must be the 6th or 7th time Ive tried to ring and enquire about my [This word has been automatically removed]ing members kit!
Last time - never again!

im voting for Kennealy, has he promised anything for our home grounds like illawarra get? i doubt it. women rule - besides i like her north american accent in nsw. It gaves the state more of a multicultural feel just like West Tigers are. O'Farrell is out of touch with the game and politics. like i said - women rule the planet (sorry benji marshall) and thank God for that. Apart from Leonardo Da Vinci and a handful of others has man done for the world? Look at the middle east, hec, look at adam. No way, Kenneally for me.

I know this is off topic, but has Keneally promised pokies tax breaks for Leagues clubs?

O'Farrell may not have promised fix ups for CS or LO, but to be honest when the state is in the current mess it finds itself, the last thing I would want taxpayer dollars wasted on is grants for sports stadia. I love Leichhardt Oval (and have come to love Cambo as well thanks to the JV,) but I would hope that the money is spent in the right places before beefing up LO CS where only a very small percentage of the populace will benefit.

That said, I like O'Farrell a hell of a lot more now.

Yeah I think it was tongue in cheek…either way I'm still laughing!!

Would have been nice if O'Farrell could have announced some $'s for Leichhardt or Campbelltown.

wake up to yourself, its the little people that count and always dont seem to get the funding. wests tigers are a passion and its all we got for many of us, bogans, just like you pal, the little people i say feed their passion and their love for rugby league than the money going into their pockets like it always seems too. improve what little do we have , if you build it they will come. its who we are, and you want to ignore these people. I would rather a little of the money that they make go into improving our grounds then at least I know where my dollar went and how it actually benefitted us..the little people. One day I want to sit in a West Tigers stadium.. Have you forgotton your roots for crying out loud man. Its the little people that count. Has Ofarrell mentioned any of this yet? I'm talking the lesser of two evils fool. I dont care who you vote for personally, but please think before you post. good luck, hope you win. im sure offarrell will change your life if and when he becomes premier, all i care is wests tigers and better home grounds, not politics. Cultured Bogan - meh! do you really think we win after any election? I just prefer women to men as world leaders. For me sport is life and Wests Tigers are my team and I want the best for them which will be the best for us all -

I had a few problems getting my kits as well. I eventually communicated with them via email and they located my kits and had it couried to me.

If you like i can give you the email address.

Amex - no problem voting based on that. But, Barry o farrell Is the only one who has announced policy that will help the tigers and our communites. A rebate on taxes for clubs. So the only help for the Tigers and the NRL is currently coming from the liberals. You sound as entrenched in Labor as you can be if you have to resort to using 'I'm voting because the leader is a woman', but i just want to point out the facts.

Im not into politics hammertime. i just think kenneally is better looking than ofarrell.
